So on my 5th or so time through BEC questions on Wiley, it seems like 90% of the questions are repeats. I mean I know that you will get repeats since its just a randomized set from a pool, but vast majority being repeats? Does the Wiley software only have like 400 questions to pick from?

I am not on BEC yet, but have you checked the box where you can request questions you haven't seen before? It's on the same page where you enter the output name for your file.

Funny our user names are very similar. How'd you come up with yours? Mine is the initials of the members of my family – Amy, Parker, Brandon and John.

You can also see exactly how many questions there are for each section by selecting the option to add questions individually. For BEC, there are exactly 598 questions.

BEC: Passed
AUD: Passed
REG: Passed
FAR: Passed

Pbnj, I ran into the same problem. I bought the software a week and a half before my BEC exam to supplement the Wiley book. The 3rd day in, I was repeating 90% of my questions. I returned the software, lol. I guess that's why it's a lot cheaper than Becker. No doubt the questions are great, but I was definitely memorizing them too fast.

If you manually add the questions – this shouldn't happen.

You can see exactly how many MCQs are available.

hmmm, I didn't know that. I'll have to do that for my next exam.
